Thanks! Yeah it's been a while. I don't know why I've been gone so long, just had a lot going on I guess. Hell yeah! I'm actually up closer to you now, with my folks in Seeley.

Yes, they absolutely have enough room to function as a step, especially the kickout in the rear. Super useful as a step.

Thanks! As of now, 198,500. Haha that would be pretty cool. But I don't think it's in the cards.

At the beginning of the summer, we had begun to formulate plans to travel to Colorado to attend my cousin's wedding. We decided to use it as a thin excuse to explore the state and check out one of the most amazing overland destinations in the country. Planning began very early to hit some...

We also did another run to Independence under perfect weather. It was on a weekend, so there was plenty of other trail traffic. Funny enough, we became a bit legendary that day because news traveled up and down the trail that some crazy people were driving up there in their trucks. People were...

Hey all, It's been insanely long without even checking this thread. Life has been pretty busy for me with the wife and kid. We moved, then moved to a temporary residence, and now we're in the latter stages of doing a home remodel. Meanwhile, I graduated college and began a job search that's...

My Frontier is at 182k on the clock. Except for a freak engine failure due to what I'm convinced was shoddy mechanic work, I've had no really major issues in the 70k miles I've driven it. I've had a few bigger things fail or need replacement. I blew up the front diff being an idiot in the snow...

Close! It's an Oztent, yes. The RV-3, which is a really great tent. Lots of nights in it now and I just love it. The awning, however, is an Ironman 4x4. It's okay, but I've examined an ARB and I think it's a better awning. The build quality is better. I bought the Ironman because it has a...

The last time I had been in Grand Teton, I was in middle school. So my recollection of it is a bit hazy. Unfortunately, this recollection of it is as well, thanks to the insane clouds of smoke choking the park while we were there. We drove down through Yellowstone and spent the night at the Gros...

After Morrison, things were pretty slow for me. I didn't do a lot of exploring, as I had broken my CV shaft and was driving around as a 2wd for a long time. Plus I was feeling kind of bad about the way the engine was running. It was feeling kind of weird for the past six months, and it was...

Carl, great to have you! Feel free to come out to my neck of the woods any time at all! I had a lot of fun, and glad I could show you around. Glad you like the pics. Thanks man. The teamwork on that day was exceptional. Everyone was super helpful and very positive and it made the adventure all...

I have to say, the landscape going up the canyon is outstanding. This obstacle gave me some trouble, and the first of a lot of trail rash I'd get that day. This obstacle gave us all kinds of trouble. Our Nissans have a fairly wide turning radius, and the limited ground clearance under...

So, Morrison Jeep Trail. What a day that was. It was several months of planning, and a multitude of people saying they were going. It ended up being four trucks. Me, bijanjames, MNCarl, and rdy2offrd88. Carl met me at my home in Billings before the trip, and we convoyed out to Laurel to meet...

Holy cow that's bad. Those look like they'd be even worse than the OEM uppers. That'll be one company to stay away from I guess.

Haha that's a really silly problem to have. Oh well I guess. It was worth a shot. Did you let them know? For what it's worth, I've had the SPC arms on my truck for several years now, and they've never come out of adjustment. Use a torque wrench to tighten the big nut on top of the arms and it...

Nice buy on the fridge! I've heard great things about Dometic. Can't wait to see it and the slide you chose. What was the problem with those UCAs by the way?

Those wheels really look the business. And you'll like those Generals. They're great, I'm on my third set.

Ha, probably very possible. They let you get stupidly close. They're not like pheasants, who will fly up at any provocation. My dad carries a DeLorme InReach PLB and an emergency survival kit with food and water, just in case. Lot of wilderness out there.

Thanks! We pass Clydehurst on the way in! Looks like a neat place. The other main camp there, Camp-on-the-Boulder, is closing down. I think 2017 was their last summer. Sad really. Independence is stunning. It's my favorite trail I've ever done. I just love the Boulder River Valley. So much...

I really like that ATC map case. Might have to get me one.
